Well, when I asked, it said your purpose is "...to mechanically amplify the movement of a piano key into a faster, longer hammer movement, allowing the hammer to strike the strings and produce sound, and then retracting the hammer and lifting the damper."

German seems intimidating because of these giant words. I think we generally assume there is a huge collection of very specific words about very specific things.

It becomes a lot less intimidating when one discovers that they're not inventing new words for every little thing, all they're doing is eliminating spaces from descriptive phrases.

"Alice grabbed the bigredbouncyball."

Yes, we thought about the construction of foot ball to the end. And factually nobody says Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug. It is a Feuerwehrauto (firefightercar) so we only dropped a blank as you do in football or electromagnetism.

I had the following thought yesterday: Isn't it a bit embarrassing that the Klingons and Romulans had a cloak technology and we did not even though we have already achieved some basic results in this direction by now?

The Federation agreed not to develop the technology under the Treaty of Algeron. Exactly what they got in return is not clear, except for dramatic tension.
